Brothers in War

I'm glad that I happened to stumble across this program this week, I was able to catch the last hour or so and thank God I was able to DVR the entire program and watch it from start to finish. What I liked best of the film was the interviews with the surviving members of the platoon, the way they told their stories made you feel like you were with them in the battle field. How these heroes made it out alive after spending 18 months in Vietnam is beyond me. The 2 hour film kept me on the edge of my seat and I really look forward to more episodes. I also want to say Thanks to the men who fought this war and wish Americans would not take their freedom for granted. So the next time you see a Vet, tell them how much you appreciate what they went through because they deserve it.

This documentary brought to life the experiences and tremendous hardships our Vietnam vets endured during the Vietnam War, and the despicable Jane Fonda groupies they came home to. Being married to a Vietnam vet who would never talk about the war to me, left me in the dark, so to speak. This movie spoke volumes and helped me understand what I needed to understand; why he came back like he did, and why I, too, and his children, were now also victims of this war. To have the vets from Charlie Company actually give their 1st hand accounts of what they lived, and how, was incredibly moving and educational for me. I don't think I've ever seen another movie that captured this as well as hearing it from the mouths of the vets who were actually there.

This is a stunning and highly moving personal account of the lives of this one unit, one unit out of many, in the Vietnam War, told in such personal and gripping detail. One of the best high quality pieces I have seen on the accounts of young brave men, serving their country at a time when not only the war challenged their lives, but did the political and social climate facing them upon their return home, shameful as we now look back on it. The film brought truth and honor to the men who's lives were taken, and respect and admiration to those men, lucky enough to survive such odds, who lived to tell this story. The quality and content of this piece made watching it gripping, revealing, powerful and historic. It was my honor to see these men tell it and my recommendation for everyone to take the time to learn and respect what they sacrificed for our great nation.

I watched the movie, saw the TRUENESS of the events, the action, the bravery, and the Heartache and pain of those soldiers.

To hear the story's, i got to know them as well (to some degree) and it pained me when they were killed.

I was in Vietnam in 67-68, and know first hand of the lay of the land, and the VC activity. I was not in the infantry, and can only THANK THOSE WHO WERE, for their Bravery everyday.............The film showed that side as well.

What the soldiers did when faced with over whelming odds..............GREAT LEADERS, Both in Officers and NCO, and those not NCO's.

A movie to watch. Many THANKS AS WELL TO CHARLIE SHEEN.

Thank You Charlie for supporting our MILITARY..............

As a member of Charlie Company and one of "The Boy's of '67", watching this documentary with my beautiful at my side was one of the most emotional experiences I've had since serving in Vietnam. Lou Reda Productions, with Scott Reda and Liz Reph's outstanding creativity, went above and beyond the call of duty to illustrate the God awful conditions that we young troopers dealt with in an extraordinarily nasty terrain and climate. If the Viet Cong didn't get you, surely the extreme heat, mud, leeches, snakes, rice paddies, jungle, and swamps would. Scott and Liz, with their excellent staff, pulled together a collection of Charlie Company home videos and archival footage that tells a powerful story of combat and our unbelievable return home to harsh treatment by ungrateful Americans.

This exceptional documentary rattled me to my bones.
